How this was calculated
Liability = 30 m³ × €620 (§ 451e HGB) = €18,600

What you can do

  • Liability only up to €620 per m³

    Under § 451e HGB (German Commercial Code), a removal company is liable for loss or damage up to €620 per cubic metre of load volume. If your household goods are worth more, ask about additional transport insurance.

  • Compare quotes

    Ask for several written fixed-price quotes and compare the same items (m³, floors, extra services). The calculator does not state market prices.
